What is there to say about Mortal Kombat that isn't already known?  Not a lot.  Well, just for the fun of it, I'm going to tell you anyways.  These games are not for the weak of stomach.  They all contain loads of blood, gore, and oil (Yeah, you read that right.  It says oil.  Yup.  The stuff from machines, or robots in this case).

     The plot of Mortal Kombat is this:  You are one of the top martial artists in the world.  An evil martial arts master has summoned the top fighters to battle in a competition, called the "Mortal Kombat Tournament."  It is a battle to the death, and the winner gets a chance to challenge the master in one final duel.  Not the best plot in the world, is it?

    You pick your fighter, and fight your way to the top against the other martial artists in many morbid arenas.  Mainly, this game is just an excuse to add as much blood as possible to a game.  The fighting doesn't drive the plot along, it's just is there.

Steve's Bottom Line:

Tasteless violence with a hint of excess gore.  Not for the kids, or anyone for that matter.
